What do you think is the most underrated perk in the game?

I love solidarity as a survivor perk and I'd argue it's one of the best aura perks.

A great killer perk that's underrated is enduring, it allows you to be alot more aggressive during chases.

What does everyone else think?

    Recently I've started running solidarity with empathy, it takes two perk slots but I'm almost at BHVRs free perk level, SWF on comms!

    Makes me wonder if they would remove perk slots for friends in SWF to truly balance the game... and here end another question that will never be asked on stream

    Idk if it's underrated, as I don't know what it gets rated, but I never see anyone running Autodidact. If you get enough skill checks to max out tokens, you can fully heal someone from the dying state in about 5 seconds.

    Dying Light.

    My usual set-up is (Dying Light, Thanatophobia, PGTW, Sloppy Butcher/Nurse's Calling). People say to drop the Dying Light as it takes too long to stack and Thanatophobia covers what is needed, but I find if I play my cards right I can normally create a 3-gen situation with 30% action penalty.

    I have the option to chase + hook someone end-game, without the gens being a massive concern.

    I think I can answer that for you: No, they most likely won't do that because it is a change that would affect a large portion of the player base that wouldn't like it. And from an economically point of view it isn't a good idea to make such a change. I also think that they said something in a stream like: "We won't nerv SWF, we will try to make solo better" but I'm not 100% sure about that and I don't feel like searching the streams in the moment so don't quote me on that.

    To the original topic: I think windows of opportunity is underrated, since they changed the cooldown it is really helpful in chases, not just for newer players.

    I don't know if it's the most underrated, but Poised is one that springs to mind.

    I've seen people say that it's useless or terrible, but I actually think it's great and it's saved my life many times. If you're the one that completes the generator (which tends to attract killers if they're not already in a chase), you can vacate the scene quickly and without a trace, and if someone else repairs a generator, you get a free ten seconds - quite a long time in DBD - of sprinting with zero downside. It also combos quite well with Adrenaline.

    Well, i feel 2 of my meta perks are underrated:

    - Small Game: I'm a totem cleaner but not only that, it helps to avoid Hag, Trapper and Freddy' traps. That's a lot of help against them, believe me.

    - Distorsion: since BBQ or Nurses Call are most of the time among killers perks, I use this and I get great advantage or it. If I'm playing with a team I can tell them quickly if the killer has any aura perk.

    I mean, for me are meta perks, use them 90% of the time. Got to Rank 1.

    Spies from the Shadows.

    It's so unpopular I actually got accused of cheating for using it. And notifications were going off everywhere.

    Babysitter. High-risk, high-reward that allows you to help out vulnerable teammates in a way that actually takes pressure off of them. All it needs now is to ignore Undetectable and it’s honestly the most well-balanced Survivor Perk in the game imo.

    Only works at long distance. If a killer is camping, and you do a BT save, 4 seconds isn't long enough for them to lose your trail. And because there's no icon, you could save a survivor and they'd follow you leading the killer back to them.

    1. Maybe get better at throwing yourself at the Killer to waste their time? You know, the entire point of the Perk?
    2. Don’t unhook someone who’s being camped, or just take a hit. Simple.
    3. Yes, it does have an icon.
